The racist guy's racist assumption is also correct. People do buy the clothes, leave the tags on them and return them obviously worn. Then buy more on the same visit and return it a week later. Then do it again.

For example, my shithead brother does this and proudly posts on facebook about it.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

you typically play baseball outdoors, 160 games a year, where as the other sports you're in a trillion dollar arena called something like Papa John's Entertainment House and the lighting is very controlled

also beyond just wanting to make the catch, baseball is the only american sport where the ball itself can kill you

i saw a kid playing right field once at an away game where his hat was flat and loose and our center fielder hit a line drive into his forehead, kid had a seizure before he hit the ground

okay true story. this same thing happened to me when i was ten except i used to pitch. i didn't seize up but i probably had a concussion, but this was way before anyone gave a poo poo about that kind of thing and a concussion was treated like a really minor thing like hitting your funny bone or something. anyways, this is the exact moment i became a little off. i got weirdly ocd after this and it's enabled me to remember what specific calendar dates certain stuff in my life has happened on and what day of the week, what i was wearing, and random details like that. it actually freaked me the gently caress out and i didn't want to play sports again until HS.

baseball caps that come with the brim already curved are always pieces of poo poo made for children and even john cena looks bad in it. you're supposed to buy a flat one and curve it yourself to fit your head properly. most people don't need a curve at all

I agree that pre-curved caps are terrible and the correct method is to manually create the curve. When you say most people don't need a curve at all, are you suggesting that most people should wear it flat? Cause you are pretty dumb if that's what you are saying.

they probably have a car that is 'nice' not even super nice or anything, like a 08 mustang or an altima or maybe an infiniti of some sort. like a car that only has a 'large' engine by virtue of being not an economy car yet they treat it like poo poo and drive it like a race car. they think that it puts them a cut above everyone else because they took out a $6k loan on an 8 year old used car with a v6. it won't be european unless it's an e36 and if it is you bet it will be slammed to poo poo

imply that its not the best thing ever

i used to drive a saab 9-3 and they loving hated that car. was honestly impressive how much ire it wrought for a crappy used car that didn't like to start. sure, it looked like a turd on wheels and designed for ergonomics and utility over any shred of car-guy bravado but it was fast as hell. i had people tripping over themselves to tell me why their altima was better than my beater saab, and its like bro - i only know you are saying any of this poo poo because you looked up 1/4 mile drag times and saw that the saab beats our your car by like a half second despite being a massive piece of poo poo simply by virtue of it having a turbo and not cranking the torque of the lower gears up as high as they go

Here is some information I found online:

"I know the whippersnappers out there like to keep the bills of their hats flat, but trends be damned. Perhaps I’m just a fist-shaking curmudgeon stuck in my ways, but I’ve always thought the flat bill thing looked goofy. It has a tendency to make the crown appear bigger, which consequently makes the wearer look like a boy sporting his dad’s ball cap. Baseball hats are already an accessory associated with the younger set; wedded to a flat bill, they make a guy look about twelve. Which I guess is okay if you’re actually 12, but after that you should wear a cap like a grown man – bill curved."

Never pay for a hat. They come from Feed and Seed companies or from product vendors that you work with. I've never bought a baseball cap in my life.

Brim should be curved over your thigh. Not rolled. Just give it a light bend.
